Interesting; I haven't studied ID's history. Seems logical that scientific religious folks would want to understand their god(s)'s creation, wouldn't it? However, as it exists today, ID is all about garbing creationism in the cloak of something else... not science, surely, though they think they can trick the gullible public into swallowing that line of crap.
Science is a methodology that cannot be applied to "intelligent design." There's no way to test it; ergo, there's no way to apply science to it; ergo, there's no way to teach it in the classroom. Evolution is easy to demonstrate and teach and test; creationism is easy to teach, too, but inappropriate for public schools.
I don't see why these folks don't just keep their religion in their churches where they can control it as they wish. Imagine the mocking tone that a true scientist would use when forced to discuss it in class!
